To Promote the Interests of Mineral
lcsr,


Now that booming Is so fashionable
we should at least make an effort to
become stylish, and it is indeed high
time that something was done to pro
mote the growth and industries of
our city. With the capital available to
start large manufacturing enterprises.
located In the center of the best mining
lands in the northwest, with the rich
est prospects ever known now being
developed, backed up by the most fer
tile blue-g grass region in Wisconsin, we
certainly should have a permanent
boom, and it should begin Immediately.
Already the Illinois Central is thinking
of building a branch to Mineral Point,
the Northwestern is surveying a line
to Highland, and this is all brought
about by the one mandatory that we
now have, namely: the Mineral Point
Zinc Company, thereby giving them
much nearer direct rail route from the
great Highland mines. Not only this,
but it offers to our city much shorter
route to Chicago-at least fifty miles
nearer than any present line-which
viii be an inducement to shippers of
stock, and especially to receivers Of
freight. 1t will bring competition in
freights and passenger traffic. 1t viii
make our city a railroad center. 1t
will bring up our real estate; in fact,
we will really boom. Now let every
inducement be held out to the railroad
scheme; let us all once more wake up,
and endeavor to have the noise and
rattle of business on our streets in
stead of the dreary clang of the COW
bell. Now is the last chance. Every
body must use their personal influence
and then failure viii be impossible.

MARRIED..
COLLINS-DUNBAR.


AT st. Paul's Catholic church in this
city, on Tuesday morning, October
25, 1887, by Rev. James O'Keefe, Mr..
James J. Collins and Miss Mary Dun
bar; both of this city.
Both bride and groom have lived in
Mineral Point since childhood, and are
very highly respected and popular
The bride was for a number of years
a teacher in the intermediate depart
ment of our public schools, and very
creditably performed the duties Of
that position. After the ceremony at
the church they drove to Dodgeville
and took the train at that place for a
wedding tour to Madison, Milwaukee,
Chicago and other points. On their
return they will take up their residence
in the dwelling house on the corner of
Fountain and Chestnut streets, recently
occupied by Mr. John Commins. The
Democrat unites with other friends in
extending good wishes and congrat-
ulationS.

The annual convention and exposi-
ton of the national butter, cheese and
egg association win be held at Man
chester, Iowa. on Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday of next week. The
Iowa state association Will also hold its
annual meeting at the same time and
place Manchester is the champion
local butter market Of the west, and
Delaware county, Iowa, is the banner
butter county. As Manchester is not
far away. and railway fares will be re-
duced. would it not be well for dairy
men and cheese manufacturers from
this section of Wisconsin to go over
there and get ali the information pos
sible in regard to the latest and most
successful methods employed in the
making Of butter and cheese? The but
ter produced in Delaware county Iowa,
has secured an enyiable reputation for
excellent quality, and the result is that
it is sold at an advance over the high
est price for the best butter produced
in other parts of the country. No
where can be found better natural adj
vantages for successful dairying than
in southwest Wisconsin. If our dairy
men could receive for their product
the price paid for butter made in the
vicinity Of Manchester their annual
income would be vastly increased. By
learning and carefully following the
best methods in dairying they can
produce as good butter as can be made
in the world; and if they do this as
a rule, they will get the name for it,
and the price too.
